Bail set for Worcester man charged with hitting, dragging woman

WESTBORO — A 50-year-old Worcester man who allegedly ran over and then dragged a Lunenburg woman in March was released on $10,000 bail Friday in Westboro District Court.

Charles F. Bohigian, of 10 Dryden St., who is charged with drunken driving (second offense), was ordered to wear a GPS monitor and leave home only for medical and legal appointments.

In addition, he was ordered to submit to daily sobriety checks in his home. Until a sobriety testing machine can be located for use in his home, he must report to court for alcohol tests daily.

His case was continued to July 8, according to Timothy J. Connolly, spokesman for Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.

Katrina N. McCarty, the victim, was a bartender at Jillian's at 315 Grove St., Worcester, a bar that Mr. Bohigian frequented. Ms. McCarty and Mr. Bohigian knew each other.

Ms. McCarty, 38, was struck after midnight in Shrewsbury.

Ms. McCarty was standing outside her vehicle after it had crashed into a guardrail on the Route 140 on-ramp to Interstate 290, according to state police, when her car was allegedly hit by Mr. Bohigian's vehicle, which then ran her over and dragged her.

When police arrived at the scene, Mr. Bohigian allegedly told police that another vehicle had struck the woman.

After the crash, Ms. McCarty was in a coma.

Family members this week said she is in rehabilitation for the severe injuries she suffered.
